[@Remram] Basil decided to mine some more. So did Anise and her team, as well as Earl, this time without Cleffa being helpful. It took some more time, and once again Anise’s crew was making more progress than Basil, but seemingly without finding much this time. Basil, however, could eventually glimpse something small. A couple chops later, and a shiny, sparkling turquoise stone, with what looked like a star in the center of it came loose from the ice… [center][color=6ecff6][i]Basil obtained a Dawn Stone![/i][/color][/center] To his right, he could see Earl having also found a small stone of some kind. Earl held it up to inspect it, and it seemed to be a Leaf Stone. [color=4c925e]‘… I hadn’t considered it, but the latent power of Evolution Stones… Is there some way I can use that, other than evolving certain Pokémon? Do these unlock the power of Pokémon, or is the power in the stone?’[/color] Earl contemplated out loud enough for Basil to hear. Albeit, before he could answer that. On his left. [color=e04f4f]‘Wait, hold on, everyone! Stop! Stop! [i]STOP!![/i]’[/color] Anise suddenly called out in a bit of a panic, as her very eager Pokémon all suddenly had to come to a stop and look up at what they’d almost freed from the ice. There were some gasps from Mienfoo and Froakie as they leaped back, and Riolu and Meditite dropped their tools to lift step into battle stances against it. There was a large shadow in the ice that they had almost freed… [hider=the shadow was…][center][url=https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Armaldo_(Pok%C3%A9mon)][img]https://i.imgur.com/BVxJFlW.png[/img][/url] [color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #348 – Armaldo, the Plate Pokémon. An extinct Pokémon, it once walked on its hind legs on land and then dived into the ocean in search of prey. Its entire body is clad in sturdy plates, and its enormous, retractable claws can cut through most anything. With fossil reviving technology, they’re becoming a familiar sight among trainers again.[/i][/color][/center] By the pose of the large predator Pokémon, it looked like it had been frozen while swimming underwater in just such a hunt mentioned in the Pokédex. Anise was gently stepping away from the ice… and then she flinched when a little crack just appeared on its own by the frozen Pokémon’s foot with the sound of ice cracking. Then another. Then another. Slowly spreading up across the large Pokémon’s body. [color=e04f4f]‘Uh. How dangerous could that be? I know it’s evolved. But, what level could it have evolved on?’[/color] Anise asked, clearly gauging if they could handle it as she was stepping backwards to stand next to Basil. The cracks kept spreading, around the frozen Pokémon. [color=4c925e]‘… I think I would rather bet on not being here,’[/color] Earl stated, and was definitely making ready to dash, picking up his various Pokémon as quickly as he could. What’s Basil doing?[/hider] [hider=Suggestions to actions]1. Find Pokémon. [i]Note, there are more Pokémon in the tunnels than here. Unless you’re specifically searching the ice?[/i] 2. Talk. [i]This is basically a small settlement. They probably know a bit about mining in ice![/i] 3. Move along. [i]Either out of the cave, or deeper into it.[/i] 4. Specify. [i]If you specify what you want to do, the GM will take it into account and tell the result.[/i] 5. Trigger random event. [i]Force the GM to use his imagination to make a scenario for you.[/i] 6. Notable Buildings. [i]Not many, but there’s a small base here![/i] 6.1. Miner’s Lodge. [i]For maps, getting info or tools and learning how to mine![/i] 6.2. Miner’s Shop. [i]Skip all the hard work of actually mining and buy what the miners are selling! Varies every day![/i] 6.3. Comfy Igloo. [i]If you just want to rest, have a chat, relax, restore health.[/i] 7. Area Specific: Mining. [i]People here mine the ice for items and Pokémon caught in the ice. You could too![/i][/hider] [i]Connected areas: [/i] Route 5.
